Is it possible to include only required dlls and not the entire .Net framework?

Question

How do I only include certain dlls of the .Net framework which are used in my program along with the setup project instead of installing the whole framework?

Thanks

You want to deploy a .NET Application to a server, that doesn't have .NET installed and only have it install the specific System.* dlls required for you're application ?

I'd be pretty sure that you can't do this. There's more to the Framework than just a bunch of DLLs in the GAC. (e.g. CLR, registry entries etc...). You'll need to install the framework on the client machine
